I'd say believing that some dude who died got up and started walking around three days later would fall into this category.

I'm happy to join in on someone's celebration.

I don't take the day off, but I'd go to a party if someone asked.

I think there are some people fibbing that they've been celebrating it for 20-30 years, but so what. It commemorates an actual event, unlike a lot of holidays.

Today was like driving early on a Saturday morning. Hardly any traffic to speak of.

That alone makes me a fan.

He didn't walk around. He got tired of this planet's bullshit lack of technology and called for the transport to beam him up.

The real Juneteenth is actually December 6, 1865. That was the day slavery was banned in Kentucky and Delaware with the ratification of the 13th amendment. June is a nicer month to take a day off though.

Let's just make Christmas on August 11th, then.

Image Star War Day

Image Superheroes Day

Boxing Day "I have two boxer dogs so we nickname it boxer day and celebrate how lovely our dogs are."

Autumn Equinox, The leaves start falling!

Image April Fools' Day

May Day

Pi Day

Yorkshire Day

Groundhog Day

Devil's Night

Opposite Day

National Doughnut Day

St Piran's Day

Eid ul-Fitr :lol:

Guy Fawkes Night

Parent Fun Day

Halfoween

Friendship Day

National Coming Out Day

ANZAC Day

Melon Day (Not those Melons!)

But yeah Juneteenth! FUK that! :roll:

He had to see his lady, talk to the guys, clean his cellphone, and then rest. It took roughly 40 days to complete.

I love when this is mocked. There are MANY "truths" fed to us by the government and media that we've never questioned. Truths that are provably false. However, your lack of faith makes you question the resurrection.

I'm not mocking anything.

As gd mentioned above, Juneteenth is based on events we have proof and record of actually taking place. There are MANY other holidays across all religions and cultures that are based assumptions and stories. Nothing wrong with that on the surface, but its not true and unintelligent to say something like today is a fake celebration.

What makes today's celebration fake and others real? Every holiday is man made and designed to celebrate something and boost commerce.

I'm not offended by either. I was just curious. Other than being a tool for trolling, I couldn't care less about Juneteenth. The same is true for most holidays.

We should get every Jewish holiday off too but that is mostly because they have about 30 of them.

last year when it was new i never had heard of it and was skeptical of this holiday.

now i think it's a good idea it's celebrated.

but there are still a lot of private companies that don't recognize MLK JR day. Doubt they will with June 19th.

Depending on the year, I get about 5-7 extra days off a year. This year was particularly nice as they all lined up on weekends. Last year it was a lot of Tuesdays and Wednesdays off.

I say this not joking in any way; the overwhelming majority of street violence could likely be linked to females. While they may not pull the triggers, they have so much blood on their hands. It's getting worse now because some of them are shooters.

Historically, I believe a female has likely been behind the dumbest thing any male has done.
